Methionine is an essential amino acid. It plays a role in lecithinproduction and synthesis of cysteine, carnitine, taurine, as wellas a number of phospholipids.
High levels of methionine is found in sesame seeds, Brazil nuts, fish, meats and some other plant seeds; methionine is also found in cereal grains. Most fruits and vegetables …contain very little of it. Most legumes also has low quantity of methionine. (MORE)
methionine is an essential amino acid meaning if it is entirelyremoved from animal diets disease and death will occur overtime. .

DL-Methionine may be given to dogs to reduce the pH of dogurine in order to protect plants/grass (MORE)
Methionine is a critical amino acid in the production of creatine. Creatine plays second string to the needs such as carnitine for the heart muscles. DL-methionine in… the right mixture creates sort of starvation. Nothing is left for creatine production but the D-isomer, eating more introduces more D-isomer into the equation. .
L-methionine is the only assimilable isomer that does not require an unnatural conversion, over excretion, or, execrative metabolism. D-methionine (see related link) may become involved preliminarily in some simple metabolic processes. It may be integrated accidentally into proteins, in effect denaturing those proteins to varying degrees. Exactly how D-methionine is handled by mammalian systems is not of scientific importance because naturally it would never happen.. (MORE)
